 :: Spring Boot ::                (v2.7.5)

Method 1. Configure application.properties or application.yml

Add one of the following settings to application.properties or application.yml.

# application.properties
spring.main.banner-mode=off

# application.yml
spring:
    main:
        banner-mode: "off"

Method 2. Configure SpringApplication

Set Banner.Mode.OFF with SpringApplication#setBannerMode(Banner.Mode).

Main.java

package com.devkuma.springboot;

import org.springframework.boot.Banner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext;

@SpringBootApplication
public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication app = new SpringApplication(Main.class);
        app.setBannerMode(Banner.Mode.OFF); // Turn off the banner.
        app.run(args);
    }
}

You can also configure SpringApplicationBuilder.

package com.devkuma.springboot;

import org.springframework.boot.Banner;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder;

@SpringBootApplication
public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new SpringApplicationBuilder()
                .bannerMode(Banner.Mode.OFF)
                .sources(Application.class)
                .run(args);
    }
}
